Lol, turns out his late game is overrated, I believe it, now being an M6 gp on my main as I've tried to pick him up as a pocket pick for if I cant go darius or nasus. He scales very well against certain teams, but calling him a generic hypercarry in the sense of say vayne or jinx ain't right. GP used to be an insane scale, but nerfs over the years have changed that.
PhantomGG1 votesit's not over rated, a REALLY GOOD GP can 1 v 9 in the late game, here is the problem with the concept of late game play styles.
My advice? Don't make that your style.
Good players will tell you this piece of advice and spam it in your ear. "End the game as quickly as possible the moment you can"
Many good streamers will say "that games was 5 minutes longer than it should of been" And they will say it with bitterness.
Why?
For the moment late game happens, for the most part the game is NO LONGER in your control. Death timers become 60 seconds, and typically the team with the better draft will win. All it takes for you to lose late game, is for a single teamate to get caught out and die. The moment this happens the enemy team if they are smart will run it down mid, take your towers, and rush to take your nexus. Why? Because they have more people, they a clear and obviously mathmatical advantage.
You lose SO MUCH control over the flow of the game once late game happens, it sounds like a exaggeration but a single players fuck up can actually cost you the game, and their is not to much you can do to stop it. If you have a lead, end the game as quick as possible to prevent this from happening, because once everyone has 6 items, your lead no longer matters. Your mechanics and shot calling will only get you so far.
Players like Box Box win games, because he will dumpster people in lane phase, and abuse his lead as harshly as possible and quickly as possible.
TLDR-late game = hell, even for late game champions.

Doesnt explain why his wr PLUMMETS.
Most late game champs have an upward game length to win rate curve, GP doesn't. Even nasus has an upward curve and he's an outdated late game scaler who doesn't scale like he used to.

because 90% of his dmg is in 'very easy to outplay' barrels. gp before his rework used to be a yi that could crit from afar. sooo fucking awsome with a good crit build back then...squishy as hell. but if you had a good tank or two it was hilarius... now he is sad to play as and against
Sona Ping1 votesGP is not great right now.
